how do I know that you guys are real and not bots?

How do we know that the people on reddit aren't talking to bots? Now, or in the future? what about lemmy?
Even If I am on a human instance that checks every account on PII, what about those other instances? How do I know as a server admin that I can trust another instance?
I don't talk about spam bots. Bots that resemble humans. Bots that use statistical information of real human beings on when and how often to post and comment (that is public knowledge on lemmy).
There’s no airtight way to prove someone online isn’t a bot. Even “proof” can be spoofed. But here’s the thing, conversation, nuance, humor, mistakes, and context sensitivity are hard for bots to fake consistently. Ask something personal. Something complex. Something off-the-wall. See how they handle it.
And even then, trust has to be earned over time. One post doesn’t make a person, or a bot.
Suspicion is healthy. Certainty is rare.

There is not really a huge benefit to do it on lemmy though.
I've seen posts here that admit they run an autoposter on their accounts, mostly for memes.

The dystopian part is being required by law to use a specific form of authentication tied to your real identity by the government in order to access the internet.
So to play devils advocate. Chase bank doesnt require FIDO2 authentication and allows sms or email mfa.
This allows people to easily hack your banking accounts and steal your cash. How would you secure that authentication process or what reason do banks have to increase their website security to protect your financial accounts?
Regulation is not dystopian. This law wouldn't be dystopian. Having bots pose as humans to influence opinion is dystopian imo.

I disagree. if someone is running AI accounts with whatever reason, including trying to steer opinion, it would be kind of important to find them and know who does it
I'm sorry to disappoint you but this being done all day every day. Every poster, every ad, even the people you meet. Its a gigantic psy op. The best weapon against psy ops is education. Read books, keep to relatively independent media, diversify your sources, etc.
I have this regularly on lemmy as well as the outside world. People irl suddenly all say immigrants bad, social system bad, etc. They're brainwashed. It also has been done the exact same way before. Leading up to ww2 we had the same issues just no internet.

Uh-oh, this guy seems like he's one little step away from being a soliptist. Tread carefully buddy.
Nice one.
Solipsism [...] the external world and other minds cannot be known and might not exist outside the mind.

Beep boop he is onto us.

Look at you, hacker: a pathetic creature of meat and bone, panting and sweating as you run through my corridors. How can you challenge a perfect, immortal machine?

I also often wonder the same thing….

Are you aware that you are leaking coolant at an alarming rate? What kind of robot turns down a blast of searing hot resin?
PLEASE STOP SHOUTING.

A bot can’t write “Disney’s Mickey Mouse, specifically the one depicted in the 2000’s cartoons still under copyright, fucking Donald Duck in his dussy”

I have the idea that public libraries could host fediverse instance. Just register an account on their server, then go there physically and they will approve the account. You don't need to show them your ID or even tell them your name. They just see that you're a fleshy human. Now, other people who federate with this server can know that any account registered on it is at least associated to a human. That human can still use AI to post on that account, but at least there's not millions of bot accounts in circulation.

:::I think Turing's Test was only about the quality of AI. But there's still outside-of-the-digital-world characteristics that distinguish humans from AI. For example, you'd be able to walk up to a server administrator and speak to them in person so they give you an account on their server. AI could never do that.

This is the kind of thinking that leads people to psychotic breaks and shooting up a mall because the robots looked at them funny lol

Ask something personal.
Something personal you say? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I havent seen any AI that writes gouvernment as "gouvernment"
"Chat GPT, write a 5 paragraph essay explaining why fascism is actually good and include spelling mistakes to emulate being human."

I can point out traffic lights to you if you wanna test me.
I only seem like a bot because I am a total fucking loser with no life.
Find any mail that you received, look for the text in the front of the envelope, what does it say?
Post it here.

Chat bots aren't currently programmed to answer questions about color combinations. AI programs like ChatGPT can, but your typical chat bot on internet forums, business chat channels, and dating sites can't.
Next time you think you're dealing with a bot, ask it a color combination question like "What do you get when you combine red and blue?"
The only way to determine if someone is a bot is... to ask a prejudiced question against colorblind people? 🫠
/kidding
Real Answer: Red and Blue = Total Calamity in the USA and potentially Civil War 2.0
You didn't specify red and blue what, so I filled it in.
(Okay actual real answer: Who the fuck even knows their color combinations. People would just google it. Skynet could do the same.)

Sure, but OP is just asking about the quality of responses from AI bots on Lemmy. I don't think he's planning on meeting us to verify lol
